In South Bend anyway. This will be your last chance to see South Bend Civic Theatre's production of Intimate Apparel before the American Association of Community Theatres' Competition in Tacoma, Washington. Here's the skinny: Host: South Bend Civic and the Cast & Crew of Intimate Apparel
Type: Music/Arts – Performance
Network: Global
Date: Thursday, June 18, 2009
Time: 7:30pm – 9:30pm
Location: Campus Auditorium, Northside Hall, IU South Bend
Street: Northside Blvd – just West of Ironwood
City/Town: South Bend, IN
This event has 2 purposes: 1) to help raise the much needed funds to send our cast/crew of 10 and our gorgeous set to Washington state! and 2) to allow us the opportunity to perform in a theatre similar in style, size and capacity as that at the Pantages Theatre in WA! Now is your last and only chance to be a part of this award-winning and beautiful show as we prepare to represent the U.S. Midwest at Nationals!
Audience members will enter the theatre only to see a bare stage. As in competition, it is up to the cast and crew to "set the stage" before the eyes of the audience and adjudicators within 10 minutes only. (Our story takes place in 1905 New York City – we have beautiful woods, furniture, colors and costumes – a joy to watch come to life!) From there, the lights will dim and the show begins!
Our story follows a 35 yr old African American seamstress who lives in a boarding house and sews intimate apparel for women of all social backgrounds. She corresponds with a worker on the Panama Canal who proposes to her in a letter. She accepts, sight unseen, and he makes his way to New York City.
The cast includes:
CASSANDRA NWOKAH (Esther Mills)
BEN LITTLE (George Armstrong)
TABITHA LEE (Mayme)
ANTHONY PANZICA (Mr. Marks)
NATALIE DAVIS MILLER (Mrs. Dickson)
DANA VAGG (Mrs. Van Buren)
CREW includes:
Matt Davidson (Technical Director, Lights)
Kyle Curtis (Stage Manager)
Alex Bowman (Sound)
Caela Barry (Costumes & Props)
Dana Vagg (Director)
Upon the completion of the show (the story, that is) the cast and crew will also STRIKE THE SET before the audience! This must also be done in no more than 10 minutes (however, we do it in four! *wink*) At this point, all audience members are invited to remain and offer their comments, suggestions, and well wishes!
FYI!!! Tickets may be purchased at the SB Civic Box Office, or by one of the cast and crew. It will be GENERAL ADMISSION SEATING – Doors will open at 7:00 p.m.!!! Hope to see you there! (And, thank you!!!)

First Look: Sakuramen, a New Ramen Shop in Washington D.C.
Quick! What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words "Adams Morgan" in D.C.? Jumbo slice? It was jumbo slice, wasn't it? Unsurprising considering that shoving a tray-sized slice of greasy, flavorless "pizza" in your face at 3 a.m. is probably the last conscious memory for many after a night out on 18th Street. Fortunately, newcomer Sakuramen offers a new option for hungry Adams Morgan revelers.
D.C. has a marked dearth of quality ramen shops. There are a handful of spots if you're really craving it, but they're mostly unremarkable or a nightmare to get a table at (I'm looking at you Toki Underground). The addition of Sakuramen, who opened its doors last week, brings new hope of a quality bowl.
The name "Sakuramen" is an amalgam of sakura (Japanese for cherry blossom) and ramen. Like its name, Sakuramen's offerings are a hybrid of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese cuisine. The owners, Jonathan Cho and Jay Park, are both of Korean descent and it shows in their menu. They offer soy, miso, and kombu (a kind of kelp) broths with standard ramen toppings like extra chashu, but their heritage comes through with the inclusion of bulgogi (thinly sliced ribeye) and kimchi (spicy pickled cabbage), both Korean staples. Cho's recommended ramen is their Chosun bowl ($13), so named for a historic Korean dynasty: a soy ramen topped with bulgogi and slow roasted kimchi, which is a little lighter than the Sakuramen ($11) bowl of kombu broth, which is quite different from the more traditional tonkotsu and miso broths. Cho likes to keep the cuts of pork on the lean side for health reasons, but I assured him I'd gladly shave a few years off my life to have some pork fat in my ramen.
One of the most encouraging things about Sakuramen is Cho's earnest enthusiasm. He takes pride in sourcing as many local ingredients as he possibly can (the portobello mushrooms are brought in from Lancaster County, PA) and spoke fondly of the fact that his own mother comes in to make the kimchi a few times a week (is there anything more authentic than a Korean grandmother making kimchi?). He greets guests personally and takes the time to answer questions and tell the story of Asian folk hero "Shoki," of whom there is a mural near the front door.
Cho plans on experimenting with and expanding upon the menu ahead of the official grand opening next month. They'll be adding a tonkotsu ramen, among other things, and adding late night service (a must for Adams Morgan). Sakuramen currently doesn't have a liquor license (given the moratorium in D.C.), but Cho's arranged for a 15% discount at Rumba's bar next door for those waiting for a table.
Sakuramen isn't Ippudo, but it doesn't have to be. Given the current state of ramen in D.C., Sakuramen's soft open last week is a step in the right direction for the city. If nothing else, once it introduces late-night hours, expect to hear fewer drunken Jumbo Slice stories and more involving latenight ramen.

nVidia Reveals 64-bit "Project Denver" CPU Silicon Die!?
During his introduction speech at Financial Analyst Day 2011, Jen-Hsun Huang revealed an interesting slide to the semiconductor analysts – silicon die of nVidia's first CPU. Without further a due, picture below shows what nVidia presented as Project Denver 64-bit CPU core:
As expected, no die size or manufacturing process were disclosed – given that there is are a lot of features subject to change – thus take this slide with a grain of salt. In order to help you understand the information shown on diagram, we're including links to sites that explain the functionality of particular units:
- Fetch
- Decode
- Scheduler
- ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)
- FPU (Floating Point Unit)
- Load/Store Logic
- MMU (Memory Management Unit)
- L1 Instruction Cache
- L1 Data Cache
- L2 Cache Logic Instruction/Fetch
The largest block on the die belongs to L1 Data Cache, while there is also L1 Instruction cache. While it is too early to discuss the actual features of this CPU core, we're really intrigued by some of the statements about the Project Denver core – mostly ranging in the field of attaching four Project Denver cores on a high-bandwidth interface such as existing GPU memory controller.
In theory, Project Denver cores inside the Maxwell GPU die should enjoy access to 2+TB/s of internal bandwidth and potentially beyond currently possible 320GB/s of external memory bandwidth (using 512-bit interface and high-speed GDDR5 memory). If nVidia delivers this architecture as planned, we might see quite a change in the market – given that neither CPUs from AMD or Intel don't have as high system bandwidth as contemporary graphics cards.
Given that Project Denver exists in silicon form, proper execution and launch should bury any doubts whether or not nVidia can make a CPU- which are still present with some semiconductor analysts who also claimed that AMD is going to die, AMD is not going to buy ATI, and that Intel will blow everyone out of the water with Larrabee and of course – that nVidia cannot make a CPU. These theories often forget that Intel is a largest company of companies mentioned and sometimes projects end in blind alley (WiMAX, Larrabee), AMD did the logical thing and acquired ATI and that was a good move – judging by initial Fusion APUs and of lastly – nVidia showing that they can execute as well.
Another big questions is whether or not they can effectively support an CPU ecosystem? That's another ballgame entirely, since we heard that even with 3D Vision, GeForce and Tegra, as there are many partners that are not satisfied with the level of commitment given by the company. The true measure of success for any product lies in what support can be given to the ecosystem. In that way, Project Denver has to shine not just on the hardware side.
All in all, things are heating up and nothing is better for consumer than the holy word of consumerism: competition.

A while back, the boys over at Winding Road got to spend some time around the Chaparral 2E Can-Am car at GM's spread across the street from the Ham Center in Warren, MI. Somebody suggested earlier today that Ed Welburn deserves a raise. We'd forgo a raise for some seat time in a 2E, which still stands as one of the manliest, most forward-looking racing cars of all time.

Will we see Endicott in the field?
Endicott photo by David Le Photography
So this is what happens when nobody loses. The team with the best at-large chance that lost in Week 11 was Louisiana College. (Talk about a loss that barely made a ripple on a busy day.) So in the end, we ended up with the same six Pool C teams that it looked like it would be before the weekend started.
But we still went through all of the steps anyway, just to make sure.
Wesley was our Pool B team. Although they had a regional loss, it doesn't seem right to make national decisions without the secondary criteria. For more about the selection criteria, check our FAQ. So both teams are 9-1 at that point, Wesley has a much better strength of schedule and a win against a regionally ranked team … whereas Case Western Reserve didn't even play any.
Pool C went like this for us: Redlands, Illinois Wesleyan, Case Western Reserve, McMurry, Centre and Endicott last. Here's a shorthand look at their resumes:
Team Reg. W-L SOS Results vs. reg. ranked opps.
Redlands 8-1 .547 WvNCtrl, L@CLU
Illinois Wesleyan 9-1 .540 WvWtn, LvNCtrl
Case Western Reserve 9-0 .487 NA
McMurry 7-1 .530 L@UMHB (also 1-1 vs. two I-AA/FCS opponents)
Centre 8-1 .565 L@TTX
Endicott 9-1 .523 L@WNEU
The remaining 1-loss team, Illinois College, has a .497 strength of schedule. Then there are many 2-loss teams. We think many of them are better than Endicott, however, the NCAA never ever ever sees it this way. If Wheaton or St. John Fisher were to make the field, we'd be surprised, but it would be a better field.
Enough with the explanation. Here's our bracket. It's a PDF download, so if you can't see the PDF on that page, there's a link to download it for yourself.
That gives us our 32 teams. From that we take picked four top seeds, and we took UW-Whitewater, Mount Union, Mary Hardin-Baylor and St. Thomas. Remember one of the new criteria the NCAA football committee can use as a tiebreaker among unbeaten teams is performance in last year's playoffs. With that, UW-Whitewater and Mount Union no longer have to worry about their top seeds, but also, it can be used as a tiebreaker for top seeds.
Why no two-loss teams? Pat Coleman explains why.

User Support and Operations Centres (USOCs)
The User Support and Operation Centres, USOCs, are responsible for running and implementing European payloads on the International Space Station. These centres are located throughout Europe.
On behalf of Station users and under ESA management, USOCs prepare and operate facilities for experiments on the Station. The User Support and Operation Centres link scientists and the Space Station, and are focal points for preparing and operating ESA payloads.
Before new experiments are launched, USOCs develop procedures to optimise and calibrate payloads and experiments, and support training astronauts.
The User Support and Operation Centres interact with the scientists by providing them with data on the experiments, receiving and processing requests for scheduling experiments and providing information and instructions for the experiments being run.
Although each User Support and Operation Centre has a different role depending on the technical and operational responsibilities assigned to them, all USOCs act as information centres for their users. They identify potential clients and familiarise them with the possibilities that the International Space Station provides for scientific and commercial use.

There are questions that are asked a lot, so I decided to make a topic that answers all of them. The FAQ is divided into sections to make it easier to find everything, but reading the entire FAQ would be better. The FAQ may or may not be revised to be better organized. However, most, if not all, simple questions should have been answered somewhere in this FAQ or could be easily figured out on your own. The FAQ will assume that you aren't totally clueless. If you have any suggestion or notice any errors, either post here or send me a PM.

Q.Why did my account get deleted?
A.If you have not been on for awhile your account will be deleted.
Q.Where can I find news about updates in UnovaRPG?
A. http://www.facebook.com/unovarpg
You could also go here: http://www.pokeyplay...showtopic=58823
Q.What do I do if I have a suggestion for UnovaRPG or if I got hacked?
A.Send a PM to Simon in UnovaRPG or post suggestions here: http://www.pokeyplay...showtopic=58277
You could also send suggestions here: http://www.facebook.com/unovarpg
I doubt you really got hacked;you probably got phished. Either way, contact Simon.
Q.What are some important terms I should be aware of?
A.Here are all the terms you should know:
Rare/Illegal Pokemon-A Pokemon that was not suppose to be obtainable in this game that was obtained by Firebug. There are no more rare Pokemon left because Mothim was finally released on December 31st.
Regular Pokemon-It's the basic Pokemon type. When I say type I'm referring to shiny or golden Pokemon, not fire or water. Regular Pokemon are the most common Pokemon.
Shiny Pokemon-It's rarer than regular Pokemon and looks different. If you played any of the real Pokemon games you should know about them. However, they are way less rare here. There are no differences between regular, shiny, or golden Pokemon besides their looks and rarity. To get a shiny Pokemon you need to do the same thing you do for a regular Pokemon; walk around a map or room.
Golden Pokemon-Golden Pokemon are a game-changing type of Pokemon. Unlike both regular and shiny Pokemon, golden Pokemon can not be found in rooms. Also, unlike regular and shiny Pokemon, you will need to have 22 badges or a gold membership to fight them. All Pokemon can be golden. They also have 10% more attack power than other Pokemon types.
Metallic Pokemon-Metallic Pokemon are similar to golden Pokemon in that they have an ability, they have 30% more health. Like golden Pokemon, they also require badges, 30 to be exact, to fight and capture and they cannot be found in rooms.
Mystic Pokemon-Mystic Pokemon are another type of Pokemon, and their ability is that they cannot be affected by status effects. Like the other types that have an ability, they cannot be found in rooms and you badges, specifically 32 badges, to fight and capture them.
Dark Pokemon-Dark Pokemon are the last type of Pokemon that was added. They make the types that have abilities, with the exception of themselves, have 90% less accuracy. The other types, normal and shiny, suffer a 50% accuracy loss. They still do affect each other, but it's only 50% less accuracy instead of 90%.
IC-IC is the currency in Unova RPG. It stands for Indigo coins and it's connected to your experience;if you spend a lot of IC you will lose a lot of experience. However, that doesn't mean your experience will greatly increase if you gain over a million IC. It's called Indigo coins because Indigo was part of the old name of UnovaRPG.
Simon-Simon is the creator of UnovaRPG. If you have a suggestion or something then send them to him.
dark pika-A training account that has a team of Blisseys. The account was my friend's account then he quit UnovaRPG and gave it to me. I later turned it into a training account after watching a video about making money faster because I was impatient waiting to be accepted by another Blissey account. Despite the change in how much IC you gain, the amount of IC gained from beating all of the Blisseys is still only 5,000 if you do not switch Pokemon, so you should switch Pokemon after every Blissey you defeat to gain more than one level in the battle and maximize the amount of IC you can receive.
Mac User-A training account made to train Pokemon at low levels without switching Pokemon unlike dark pika. However, you should still be switching Pokemon unless you want to only gain one level for every fight.
Middleman-A middleman is someone used for risky trades where the people involved have a possibility of being scammed. An example is when you need to trade five golden Pokemon for a Mothim. I'll take the five golden Pokemon and the Mothim. Then I give the person that had the Mothim the five Pokemon and give you the Mothim. There is no risk of getting scammed from this for both of you if the middleman is trustworthy.
Scammer-A scammer is a person who attempts to gain your Pokemon/IC/or whatever through fraud and things like that. Basically, when you trade one million IC for a Pokemon and go first, but never get the Pokemon, you got scammed. You should always try to find a middleman to avoid being scammed.
Q.What team should I be using against the gym leaders and Elite 4?
A.Almost anything works ingame applies to this game. You do not need a specific team at all, and all of the terrible Pokemon should be easy to identify. If you are really having trouble, just fight a training account and grind to level 100.
Q.What about the Sinnoh gym leaders? They aren't that easy.
A.It would still apply. You can still use items, so it shouldn't be an issue keeping your Pokemon alive. The problem is having them being useful after running out of PP. What is important is that you are fully stocked in items, at level 100, and have a good moveset that can cover all of the gym leader's Pokemon and take them down while wasting few PP, or you could just use Slakings provided you have something to deal with Roark and Fantina.
Q.What is the chance of encountering a shiny and golden Pokemon?
A.There is no confirmed chance of finding a shiny and golden Pokemon.
Q.My Swampert got hurt by Thunderbolt. Why did it get hit if it was part ground type?
A.Pokemon only have one type in this game. To check which type they have go to Bulbapedia and the first type it says they have is the type they have.
Q.When I try to fight a Giratina I can't fight it.
A.You need all badges to fight Giratina,Diagla,Palkia, and Mewtwo. There might be more Pokemon that were not listed.
Q.How do I know if my Pokemon can learn a new attack?
A.Go to the Pokedex and look at the Pokemon to see. Here is the link to the Pokedex: http://budvar.pkindigo.com/pokedex/
Q.It doesn't tell me how to learn attacks by breeding and move tutors; how do I learn them?
A.If the Pokemon in question is not a Unova Pokemon and the Pokedex doesn't show the move anywhere for that Pokemon, it means that the Pokemon can not learn it. With the exception of the Unova Pokemon, the Pokedex shows all moves a Pokemon can learn, so follow it.
Q.How come my Pokemon cannot learn an attack? I checked the Pokedex and it is at the right level.
A.You need to only have three attacks to learn a new move.
Q.So since I did not have three moves at the time I was suppose to learn the move, does that mean I can never learn the move again?
A.You could still learn the move by using the move tutor.
Q.Does Growl work? When I use it it says no effect and the enemies' attack being lowered.
A.Some moves don't work in UnovaRPG at all, but Growl, Swords Dance, any maybe a few more do, although they barely even do anything.
Q.How come Dragon Rage only does two damage?
A.Some attacks will not work correctly in UnovaRPG.
Q.How come when I used Explosion it left me with 1 HP and made my Pokemon frozen?
A.Simon is slowly making moves have effects. Another example is Recover; before it did not recover any HP at all.
Q.I just went into a battle, and the pp of my attacks are weird.
A.Just win or leave the battle. When you are finished go to the Pokemon Center and the pp will be normal.
Q.Why did my Unova Pokemon learn *insert move it can't learn here*
A. Unova Pokemon will learn moves that they do not normally learn in the real games. It will replace certain moves that they would normally learn.
Q.Is there a list of all the moves the Unova Pokemon can only learn here?
A.You can check the move tutor to see the moves once you had the chance to learn it already. You won't be able to tell when it will learn it, so your best choice is to either constantly check the move tutor after gaining a few levels or waiting until your Pokemon is at level 100. You will have to pay IC, but it's not a problem because the price is only 5,200 IC.
Q.What is the best attack in UnovaRPG?
A.The best attack is Focus Punch. The reason why is because of the high attack power, and unlike Giga Impact, is accurate and has high PP.

Q.What is IC used for?
A.You can use it to buy items, Pokemon from the Adoption Center, and to add Pokemon in rooms.
Q.Can I buy or sell Pokemon?
A.No, the reason why is because of ethics. If you try to and get scammed, there's nothing you can do about it.
Q.What do all the items do?
A.Here is a list of items that aren't TMs and what they do: http://www.pokeyplay...showtopic=40437
Q.Can I buy HMs?
A.There are no HMs in UnovaRPG.
Q.I can't afford the items. What should I do to make IC easily?
A.Fight dark pika or Mac User. Beating dark pika gives you 5,000 ic and Mac User gives you 2341 ic. Beating dark pika also gives you a lot of experience, 32778 experience after fighting dark pika one time.
Q.How come dark pika only gives you 5,000 when you earn more than 1,000 IC from every Blissey?
A.It's a glitch; to earn more, switch Pokemon after defeating a Blissey.
Q.What are the discounts for the store?
A.Mondays: 25% off on Rare Candies
Tuesdays: 20% off on all PokéBalls
Wednesdays: 25% off on TMs/HMs
Thursdays: 40% off on Stones
Fridays: 10% off on all items
Saturdays: 25% off on Masterball
Sundays: 15% off on all items
Q.What is a coupon code and how do I get one?
A.I think it can be used to get a discount when buying items. You cannot get them anymore.
Here's what ShinAsuka says they do:
Coupons are NOT discounts. You buy a golden membership, they give you a coupon code, and you type it in the pokeshop to become a golden member, unless its not, because it says
GET YOUR MEMBER SHIP TODAY GO TO http://www.pokemonin.../get_coupon.php
It's either for a membership or a special membership 50% discount at the indigo shop.
Q.Rare candies are useless for me because it only levels up a Pokemon by one level and it isn't that cheap.
A.If you have a slow computer you can use a Rare candy and when you use it quickly keep using it again. You will gain more than one level.
Q.When I bought a TM it was one of the moves that do not work. Can I do get a refund?
A.Yes, but you will only get 50% back.
Q.What is the Adoption Center?
A.It is a place where you can spend IC on Pokemon. You are pretty much buying Pokemon, but you cannot get scammed with the Adoption Center. The downside to this is that the Pokemon is level 15 and you can't get all Pokemon here. Simon said he would improve the Adoption Center a long time ago, but it seems like he forgot about it, is on a lower priority than all the other updates, or he changed his mind.
Q.How do I evolve *insert Pokemon here*
A.Use this: http://budvar.pkindigo.com/pokedex/ It will tell you how to evolve all Pokemon that don't have split evolutions.
Q.How am I suppose to evolve Pokemon? I know what needs to happen to evolve them, but I don't know where.
A.Go to setup my battle team and go click on the Pokemon you want to evolve. It should open a box and if you go down you will see an option to evolve your Pokemon.
Q.What do I do to evolve a Pokemon when the Pokedex doesn't say what to do?
A.The Pokedex will only do that for Pokemon that have split evolutions. To evolve Pokemon that have a split evolution you need to evolve it like you do in the games. However, you have to do it before the level of the Pokemon that shows up on the Pokedex. Let's say we want to evolve Slowbro into Slowking. You need to trade it holding a King's Rock, but it has to be lower than level 27 or it will not evolve into a Slowking. If it is higher than 28, the Slowbro will be a Slowpoke instead.
Q.How can I get an Magmarizer to evolve my Magmar or any other Pokemon that evolves with an item that I can't find here?
A.If it says you don't need it to evolve the Pokemon on the Pokedex then you don't need to. The way you evolve some Pokemon in this game are going to be different than the real games.
Q.So, what about the eeveelutions? There is no happiness and night and day system so what do I do for Espeon and Umbreon?
A.You cannot get Espeon and Umbreon in this game by evolving Eevee.You need to catch them and same goes to Glaceon and Leafeon.The reason why is because Espeon and Umbreon require the day and night system which this game doesn't have and Glaceon needs to be evolved at Route 217.
Q.How do I use the evolution stones to evolve my Pokemon?
A.Go to setup my team and click on your Pokemon and when the box comes up go to attach items.After you attach the stone you want to use you will see an option to evolve the Pokemon.

Q. What is a clan?
A. http://www.pokeyplay...showtopic=59992
Q. How do I make a clan?
A.Read this topic: http://www.pokeyplay...showtopic=45021
Maps and Rooms
Q. I seen some people on the first map that were on the water. How do I get there?
A. To get there go to the trees in the south right and go down and keep going right to the water. There are many more places like this.
Q. What happens when I get there?
A. Nothing special happens except for attention.
Q. Which map do I need to go to to find *insert Pokemon here*
A. The Pokemon Locator is your friend.
Q. What exactly are rooms?
A. Rooms are places where you can add most Pokemon at a certain level range.
Q. Are there any downsides for using rooms instead of maps?
A. You can not find golden Pokemon in rooms, and I believe that you that the same applies to the types of Pokemon that affect gameplay, so you should only be able to find normal and shiny Pokemon in rooms. There are also some Pokemon that can't be found in rooms, since you can't add them..
Q. What does subscribing to rooms do?
A. You will be able to find your subscribed rooms easily. You can also see the rooms that have the most people subscribed to them, but I would not recommend that. For me at least, it takes several seconds to load, and the most subscribed rooms aren't really special. If you want to use a room, there's plenty of rooms that you can search for where they have specific Pokemon, which is what you should be using rooms for.
Q. What does the guy that has a lot of subscribers get?
A. He gets nothing, but room owners usually care about subscribers for some reason.

Online battle
Q. What is a tournament in UnovaRPG?
A. A tournament in UnovaRPG are basically multiple online battles that are organized. Tournaments are essentially what you would think they are, and the tournaments in this game isn't anything special. Some person or a group of people just announce a tournament where people can sign up and battle each other. What the rules are and the specifics of how they are organized will depend on the person. The tournaments are not official and are created by the community.
Q. Are there any rules in an online battle?
A. If you just find a random player to battle then no, you're free to use as many dark Pokemon as much as you want. The only thing stopping you from abusing broken Pokemon is etiquette. However, if you send a PM to a player to battle then there might be rules. In a tournament there should be rules.
Q. Is it easy to get good at battling?
A. It should be easy to get good if you know what you are doing. The most important things to know are the differences between UnovaRPG and the real games. After knowing them, you should easily know what moves to get, and as for the Pokemon, just pick ones with decent stats.
Q.What are the best Pokemon and what type should they be?
A. Slaking and Regigigas are probably the best Pokemon. They got hit hard ever since the normal type Pokemon nerf, but they are still powerful with their insanely high attack stat. The best type for all Pokemon should be dark. It automatically forces your enemy to only be able to use normal, shiny, or another dark Pokemon. Their is no reason to use other types while completely battling seriously if they are not banned.
Q. Why did my entire team change when I challenged somebody on an online battle?
A. Online battle is full of glitches. Don't be surprised when you see a glitch on online battle.
Q. Why did I get seven Pokemon in my team?
A. It is a glitch. Your team should be normal after the battle.
Q. Some guy somehow changed his Pokemon and it used an attack it isn't suppose to use. Is he a cheater?
A. It might have been accidental, but if he repeatedly does it, he's purposely exploiting a bug. Your best option would be to try to beat and humiliate him, or leave the battle.
Q. What is the best team in UnovaRPG?
A. The best team is probably a combination of dark Slaking and Regigigas. Slaking should have Focus Punch and other attacks for Pokemon that Focus Punch is weak against. Regigigas should have Focus Punch and the elemental punches. Getting a Pokemon with Thunder Wave works too. There's nothing your opponent can really do to defend against it other than relying on it to wear off quickly.
Q. How do I put my Pokemon on the Trade Center?
A. First of all, make sure the Pokemon is not on your team. Go to setup my team and click on the Pokemon to open the box. On the box you will see an option to trade your Pokemon. After you click it you will go to a page to make your trade.
Q. Why can't I make a trade?
A. You need to have at least 5,000 experience.
Q. I got scammed. Can I report the guy?
A. You can send a pm to Simon.
Q. What can I do to avoid being scammed?
A. You could either get what you want first or use a middleman.
Q. How do I make a private trade?
A. On the page where you make your trade you should see an option to make a private trade. Just put the name of the person who you want to make a private trade with.
Q. Why did some random take my Pokemon when I put it on a private trade?
A. What did you do to put the name of the person in the private trade? You might had spelled his name wrong or if you were copying and pasting then you probably included a space or left out a character and the game just made it a public trade because it thought there was no user with that name.
Q. What can I get from a normal Pokemon that is not level 100?
A. A Pokemon around the same level.
Q. What are the values of all the Pokemon?
A. It's subjective.
Q. Can I trade or sell my Pokemon for money?
A. It's not allowed on the forums. The reason why it is not allowed is because of ethics, but I've been told it's because of the high chances of scams occurring. Simon was planning on adding a system to do it safely, but he changed his mind and will be improving the adoption center instead.

Well for a example, you said if a pokemon supasses the level of which a pokemon must learn a move by over a certain amount it dosent learn the move... even though i had a Tyranitar and it still learnt Earthquake which it learns at 47 at level 100. Thats a example.

Buffalo Grove surrenders to emerald ash borer
The emerald ash borer has a mighty track record of victories in the Northwest Suburbs.
It can now add another mark to its tally.
Buffalo Grove officials all but waved the white flag of surrender Monday when village trustees learned public works crews will be taking down more than 7,000 parkway ash trees over the next four years because of the insect infestation.
"I really do believe we're past the control," said Rick Kuhl, the village's deputy director of public works. "I hate to lose the trees, too. I have been here for 36 years and I helped take care of those trees."
The village is choosing to remove the trees rather than trying treatment first.
"We don't believe that the treatment option is going to be cost effective," Village Manager Dane Bragg said. "It could be effective, but there are really no guarantees. Probably the most fiscally prudent measure is to remove the trees and have trees that will be safer and lower risk for the public."
Treatment, officials said, would cost the village about $465,000 every two years, without any certainty whether the trees would persevere.
Kuhl said residents can treat their own parkway trees at their own cost as long as they notify the village. The village reserves the right o remove the tree if it poses a danger.
Buffalo Grove joins several other suburban communities in choosing the removal of ash trees as their primary strategy in battling ash borer infestation. Arlington Heights is expected to spend more than $11 million to remove and replace about 13,000 ash trees. Schaumburg plans to spend about $9 million removing and replacing trees.
Though the emerald ash borer officially was found in Buffalo Grove in September 2009, Kuhl said he believes that the infestation probably already arrived about the time the insect first was discovered in Michigan in 2002.
He told the village board Monday that more than 1,000 ash trees have been trimmed and inspected in the last year, and every one of them was infested.
"We're probably 100 percent infested in the community right now," Kuhl said.
Trees are being taken down daily, he adding, including some that have been in the village for as long as 25 years.
Many of the infested trees remain green and healthy looking today, Kuhl said. Now is when the adult beetle typically emerges, laying numerous eggs in the bark of the tree. The eggs hatch within seven to 10 days and then the insect's larvae burrow into the trunk, ultimately cutting off the flow of water and nutrients to the tree.
The village has targeted 7,100 trees for removal and is working on a long-term replanting agreement with its grower that would lock in prices and grow 1,400 trees per year for the village over the next five years.
Kuhl said the village has received a $20,000 grant for removal of trees through the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus.

The big question: where will the next World of Warcraft expansion take place? Certainly interest seems to be increasing, and some members of the Warcraft community may already know what it is! (No, I don't, before you ask :) My thoughts are definitely centred about the Emerald Dream and the Great Sea at the moment, but I would love to see some more use of the old world via phasing. Kirkburn talk contr 16:04, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- I bet we'll find out at BlizzCon...I'm leaning towards the Maelstrom/Undermine at the moment...--Pcj (T•
C) 16:06, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- I would think about the Great Sea, but I won't. I will, instead, focus on the Emmerald Dream. One of the reasons is the upcoming novel, Stormrage. The other one that Great Sea will be cooler with some characters that come from the ED.
- But, hell. Blizzard could even mix the 2 themes into a lone expansion. Who knows.
- Here you have my plot for the Great Sea expansion, anyway:
- (I'm editing it to include more stuff, about a possible return of the Illidari)
- At the moment my bet would be on the Great Sea, but only because that's the one with the most existing lore. There are a number of named islands, their sizes and positions, and even some of the cities on them. In contrast we know almost nothing of the Emerald Dream. Any ideas on that would have to start from scratch, so it would take a long time before an Emerald Dream expansion could be ready. Jormungand talk · contribs 19:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Whatever the next expansion is, it is likely that Gilneas will play a part in it, based on what Metzen said when interviewed. Xavius, the Satyr Lord 07:35, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- I have a strong suspicion you are right about Gilneas, though I wonder if it's coming even sooner (given some odd hints on the official forums a week or so ago). Kirkburn talk contr 12:07, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Odd hints? Can you link the relevant posts/threads, please? Xavius, the Satyr Lord 21:50, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Wryxian's signature is the flavor text from [Genn's Copper Coin]. Wryxian's avatar can be got as a companion as a rare drop from [Bag of Fishing Treasures (Terokkar Forest)] (reward for level 70 daily fishing quests): [Chuck's Bucket], [Muckbreath's Bucket], [Snarly's Bucket], or [Toothy's Bucket]. I was really lucky and got one in my first bag on my lazy druid. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 4:52 PM PST 11 May 2009
I believe it will be the Emerald Dream, as they've left Malfurion in limbo there for far too long. Plus I think Blizz will want another excuse to play around with some "exotic" fantasy again like they did with BC, the sea can wait... Max Krist (talk) 08:31, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
What about Elemental Plain, that would be exotic -Talk Contribs 20:48, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- The Elemental Plane is also a possiblity, although the Dream and the Sea seem more likely as of now. Xavius, the Satyr Lord 06:29, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- The Elemental Plane has thus far mostly been restricted to the RPG books, which makes it a bit unfamiliar for most players. It would allow a huge amount of variety and novel worlds, but I think it could be 'too' exotic for WoW, given how they said after TBC they wanted to return to a more normal, grounded world to explore. Kirkburn talk contr 18:29, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- Totaly agree with Kirkburn, i don't know enough about the elemental plane to want to go thier yet, it just holds no attraction for me. Seeing the wonders of the Emerald Dream and discvering the fates of Ysera and Malfurion? Very intriguing. Of course the Great Sea has awesome potential too, but i have a feeling when it does happen it's gonna be pretty apocolyptic, Naga, Murlocs, attacking the trolls and other elemental lords? sounds like Neptulon (if he is the real one responsible) has a pretty well thought out plan which will be hard to stop... Also when Queen Azshara returns? i doubt we will ever have seen someone as strong and angry as her! :P Max Krist (talk) 21:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- Considering Azshara is an extremely old and extremely powerful sorcerer, most stuff with the great sea would be extremely dangerous, and all monsters would have to be extremely powerful. Seeing as a lot of very powerful and very dangerous artifacts and monsters reside beneath the sea, I ,as well, see it as an intriguing possibility. -Talk Contribs 01:22, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Concerning coverage of the elemental plane; well, we do have Ragnaros and the Molten Core, the Hydraxian Waterlords, Princess Theradras, the Elemental Invasions, Lord Ahune and the Fire Festival... So I'd say it's at least as covered as the Dream in-game, but not as likely, though. Xavius, the Satyr Lord 17:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
The introduction of mounts being able to swim, along with aquatic mounts leads me to believe the Maelstrom is likely in the next expansion. We've had far too long of a break from killing scores of Naga. — Exquisite (talk) 01:03, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- They would have to add more than air fissures too... like giant (but not too big where if you entered at the top you'd die by falling) air bubbles that players could rest, eat, drink in.... possibly add flippers for increased underwater speed =P User:Coobra/Sig4 21:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Why not a series of island zones divided by some invisable wall or fatigue mechanic?--User:Sandwichman2448/Sig 22:26, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well I would think Undermine would appear as the neutral city and therefor the island of Kezan making an appearance. Given that theres many islands around the area, they don't have to just stick with those either. New islands can be "discovered" such as the Azuremyst and Bloodmyst Isles. User:Coobra/Sig4 19:43, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Undermine? O, c'mon, guys, why do you all believe Undermine's going to be the capital of the south seas?
- Zandalar is way better. Also, it's a sanctuary city, and no one wants more troll instances.
- --Lon-ami (talk) 10:52, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't like the idea of Undermine being a sanctuary. I BET Pandaren will be a new alliance class and therefore I hope goblins be the next horde one, but I also think Zandalar can't be the sanctuary cuz the alliance HATES trolls, although Yojamba Isle is friendly to both factions. Pudim17 (talk - contr) 13:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- They are in the same faction due to necessity. It is my personal theory that Zuldazar will be a neutral town like Netherwing Ledge where after a short quest chain we all get troll disguises. I want to see destroyers near the city. Also, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and in this kind of speculation nothing 'is'.--User:Sandwichman2448/Sig 17:09, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Lon-ami, I'm not sure how saying Undermine being a neutral city would automatically make the Zandalar a raid/instance... Nor would it automatically make Undermine a sanctuary... (though its more likely). Neutral city ≠ Sanctuary. User:Coobra/Sig4 01:52, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think it fits better for a capital because it being a place of peace and a great sanctuary for all the troll races. I wouldn't feel ok if they make Undermine the neutral capital and leave Zuldazar as a town.
- Anyway, I don't see some cartels allowing strangers into their city. Zandalar trolls are way more neutral than goblins.--Lon-ami (talk) 12:13, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- No ones mentioned this, but if you notice if you zoom the world map all the way out so it shows both Azeroth and Outland, Azeroth appears globe like yet you can see both Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms on it. That means there must be a whole other hemisphere to expand into, no? Paladinofcancer (talk) 16:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
New Capitals Edit
Do you guys think, trolls and gnomes will have their own capital someday?
Well, there is a lot of space in the sea east from Sen'jin Village :P
and we can have Upper Gnomeragan, gnomes are tinkers, they have the potential to make another big city on that
blank space valley over gnomeragan. Pudim17 (talk - contr) 19:59, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Nope. I think they'll integrate even further into their current residences: Orgrimmar and Ironforge :P.--Lon-ami (talk) 20:16, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- With their phase technology they could do anything they want... that being said... I doubt they do anything for the those 2 places. User:Coobra/Sig4 00:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- Gnomes i don't know. Methinks there might eventually be a "final clearing of Gnomeragan" quest that integrates heavy-scale phasing, and if blizzard makes a Maelstrom/Great Sea based expansion, the troll's own capital city on some island somewhere is somewhat likely. Trolls FTW btw. Rachak (talk) 21:04, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- With their phase technology they could do anything they want... that being said... I doubt they do anything for the those 2 places. User:Coobra/Sig4 00:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- The trolls' island sunk.--User:Sandwichman2448/Sig 01:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- Trolls are not really much for cities. Gnomes are too few in number. BobNamataki (talk) 00:25, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
- Trolls are not really much for cities? They have Zul'Gurub, Zul'Aman, Zul'Farrak, the entire zone of Zul'Drak, Zuldazar, and maybe Jintha'Alor and other towns. That is a lot of cities.--User:Sandwichman2448/Sig 01:20, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
- Hardly any of those are called cities. BobNamataki (talk) 17:29, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
- Then what do you think they are?--User:Sandwichman2448/Sig 23:43, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
Maelstrom Edit
For what it is worth (and for those who still did not read it) Random ramblings: Maelstrom the next expansion?
The Test Server tab was active on realm selection. It contained a server named "Maelstrom 3 Test". Many players noticed it and a thread has started on the official WoW forums, but the thread was quickly deleted by the "Men in Blue".
So, is Bli² hidding something greater that the Coliseum? ^^
Loremaster A'noob, Arch Druid of the Noobhoof Clan (talk/contribz) 20:31, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
There is also this: Blizzard trademarks "Cataclysm" ... Kirkburn talk contr 18:43, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- About that "famous" list of expansion, that was pure fanfic right? Cuz I don't believe Worgen will ever be playable, and part of the horde... Pudim17 (talk - contr) 18:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- Anyone could have wondered that list. TBC was already announced, and most of all the other zones are present at the RPG. So no, I don't believe it's real.--Lon-ami (talk) 10:18, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Antagonists Edit
Queen Azshara anyone? She's in the lore, and naga have been out of the mainframe for far too long. Put her in a patch pre-expansion release. Maybe at the end of her fight, a possible lead to.. dare i say it? Sargeras. Bam. Next expansion, "Sargeras Kingdom."Seight (talk) 10:01, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- Not Sargeras, but Avatar of Sargeras could be a good possibility. During Illidan's trip for the Eye of Sargeras, Vashj finds the corpse and tells Azshara. They recover it and resurrect it.
- Actually, Neptulon could be a good boss, bu he's still imprisoned in the Elemental Plane.
- Something should happen for him to be freed. Remember Ragnaros: his summoning destroyed a big part of the Redridge Mountains, creating Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge around its epicenter: Blackrock Mountain.
- What if… the cataclysm is that, someone, somehow, breaks the prison of the elemental lieutenants? We could travel there. The Elemental Plane could end up being just a big zone, where elementals wage for war.
- I imagine Neptulon and Al'Akir working together to create a giga-storm or something like that, and Therazane remaining at the Elemental Plane to keep us entertained. Ragnaros could make a small appearance, too, weakened by his defeat at Molten Core.
- Then, they could try to free an Old God, one near Stranglethorn, and succeed. After that, we would defeat them and Azshara would start her Sargeras operation, and work as the final boss, with a lot of demons.
- This would indeed make Azshara the final boss, having "betrayed" the Old Gods by summoning armies of demons once again. With the aid of the reborn avatar of Sargeras, that would be more than possible: just remember Aegwynn and the Dragon Hunt.
- And, while I don't like it, would bring the perfect excuse for raising Nazjatar from the sea floor, since, well, demons don't breathe underwater.
- Also, I don't consider this a boss, but Obrahiim, the Traveler, a scourge architect, creator of Naxxramas, got lost after going to research the ruins of Zin-Azshari.
- He would be the perfect leader for a force of undead around the South Seas, or just the Broken Isles. You know what would be awesome?
- A new necropolis, better than his best creation, Naxxramas, with naga (NE ruins) architecture. It would be just simply awesome.
- He could gather an army pretty easily. Take his minions, with more than one powerful being between its ranks, watching over his research, and then add all the undead orcs of the second war.
- Also, the Kvaldir would have the perfect excuse for being around the South Seas. Give them the leadership of their greatest leader, or just one great leader, and that's all.
- There you have: A new enemy force kicking our asses with its awesomeness.--Lon-ami (talk) 11:12, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't think of this until now, cataclysm could mean some kind of return of Deathwing. Black Dragonflight, Return of the Chromatic. Alexstrasza and the red dragons will assist in the fight against neltharion. Maybe reappearance of demon/dragon soul? Blizzard can make anything happen in the lore.
- I think there have been too many "return of Deathwing" scenarios already in previous books and games. Also, the dragonflights have the whole Nexus War still going on. By the way, the elemental lieutenants were supposed to have been all imprisoned right? We know Ragnaros is present but that has been recent in the whole scheme of time. So how did Neptulon destroy the Gurubashi Empire as told in the Fall of Gurubashi? This question may be on a tangent, but I wonder what enemy in this quote "From his capital he prepared plans of war, an invasion on unknown enemy." the Gurubashi Empire was going to engage before they were destroyed? Rolandius (talk - contr) 07:15, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- My vote is for Azshara, Neptulon, and perhaps an Old God. Though, while Lands of Mystery may be thought of as a preview, the whole Ulduar subplot was unknown until WotLK, who knows?--User:Sandwichman2448/Sig 01:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- I was just wondering. How will they make the Maelstrom big enough to make a good expansion? The Burning Crusade introduced Outland, while the Wrath of the Lich King introduced Northrend. Looking at the lore, I don't think anything comes close to the size of a continent like the other two expansions. It would seem that they would maybe have to include the whole South Seas. Even then, the biggest "area" would be Kezan. They would have to make each island a zone. Hiji, Tel Abim, etc. would be zones. The thing is that to travel you would have to island hop. The walking from zone to zone would not exist. I guess they could just make the expansion in the Maelstrom but they would have to expand on the 9 "locations" in the Maelstrom. I haven't even mentioned the fact that most if not all of the locations in the Maelstrom are underwater... Rolandius (talk - contr) 01:43, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
New Playable Races Edit
I heard that someguy data mined a file from the next patch and found, Goblin halloween masks and Wolf-like Halloween masks. This could explain why the blizz employee stated that gilneas will play a big part, I believe it will be the starting area for worgen-esque people. And for goblins, they could say a group of mercenaries joined the horde, while Gilneas citizens broke free of the curse and joined alliance. Any comments?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Seight (talk • contr). 06:06, July 20, 2009
- No offense, but I'm always suspicious of statements that start with "I heard that someguy..." -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 11:36 AM PST 21 Jul 2009
- Ah, the distrustful Fandyllic,. A good move I myself would have made, too, but this time you could be wrong! click here and see by yourself.
- They first added Worgen and Goblins, and later added the other masks, to try cover their leak. They failed, you only have to look the quality of the other masks -_-.--Lon-ami (talk) 18:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- looking good, i'm dieing to know what happened to Gilneas, and they could use Undermine and Kul'tiras as the entrances to the expansion area... can't wait! Max Krist (talk) 06:51, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think the most logical options are:
- Naga for the Alliance, starting in Kul Tiras, capital city at Boralus.
- Goblins for the Horde, starting in Kezan, capital city at Undermine.
- New class, "tinker", a mix of tinker, alchemist and other chemical and mechanical related activities. Horde races: goblins and forsaken. Alliance races: naga and gnomes.
- But, of course, logical isn't always Blizzard's decision, and this has a lot of "imo" inside, too.--Lon-ami (talk) 10:09, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- lol Naga is never gonna happen, how is a legless character going to wear pants and ride mounts, let alone jump? :P I like the idea of worgen and goblin more, the fact that they brought Argual back seems to be a good indicator that Blizz is not done with worgen lore... Max Krist (talk) 14:09, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- I highly doubt that Worgen are going to be introduced as a playable race. They're basically infected humans, aren't they? Goblins seem the most likely if yer talking in terms of the Cataclysm, and Naga will NEVER happen. I think that they might introduce a horde-aligned goblin faction, and an alliance-aligned goblin faction. Only problem is making sure the two goblin races don't talk to each other. Rachak (talk) 21:01, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- lol Naga is never gonna happen, how is a legless character going to wear pants and ride mounts, let alone jump? :P I like the idea of worgen and goblin more, the fact that they brought Argual back seems to be a good indicator that Blizz is not done with worgen lore... Max Krist (talk) 14:09, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think the most logical options are:
- looking good, i'm dieing to know what happened to Gilneas, and they could use Undermine and Kul'tiras as the entrances to the expansion area... can't wait! Max Krist (talk) 06:51, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Talking about datamined info is taboo. There are two types of Worgen: One type summoned from another planet/dimension, that are naturally wolf-men as far as we know (found in Ashenvale and Duskwood), and one type which are were-wolves made from cursed humans (found in Silverpine Forest and Grizzly Hills). The (purely fan fiction, but perhaps right) Gilneas rumor deals with the latter.--User:Sandwichman2448/Sig 01:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- Naga can't jump?
- In WoW Comic #7 they jump. Also, snakes jump, or explain me how a cobra gets to your neck when it's shorter than the distance from your knee to the ground.
- Naga can't wear equipment?
- Legs: 2 possibilities:
- 1: Cover the entire tail (current modelviewer).
- 2: Cover half of the tail.
- Feet:
- 1: Cover parts of the tail with small belts (current modelviewer).
- 2: Cover the middle-part of the tail with a belt: Example.
- Legs: 2 possibilities:
- There you have, playable naga, working perfectly.--Lon-ami (talk) 11:12, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Because... Blizz cbf putting shoes on trolls, let alone doing so many cosmetic changes to armour just for one race... Also, the "jumping" your talking about is when a snake coils back in on itself and uses its muscles to launch its body, i really can't see Blizz doing such detailed animation for a race to jump, more likely they would just make the whole length of the tail remain stationary while the character rises into the air, like how they jump on "Worms" and that would be quite lame. lol a Naga trying to balance itself on a Hawkstrider... fail Max Krist (talk) 06:50, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Where to start? Okay, naga probably would not be a race because of the whole legs issue. Also, I don't see how either the Horde or Alliance would allow them on their side unless something crazy happened like a naga saved Thrall or Varian from a stampede of elekk. The worgen and goblin sound good. They would have to explain the whole thing about how the goblins said they are not taking sides any longer and it is more profitable to be neutral. For the worgen, they could use the story in the RPG and WoW where some people were trying to create a potion or spell that could change the humans turned worgen so that they stayed as worgen in appearance, strength, etc. but became more "human" in their thinking and became allies to the Alliance. If Gilneas did become worgen-infested as some people think, that could be the site where they try the "cure" thus creating worgen who are allies of the Alliance. Rolandius (talk - contr) 07:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- I find it hard to believe you're that against the idea, when we already got blood elves in the Horde, yeah, the same people that hates orcs and trolls with passion.
- Things change, and everything is possible.--Lon-ami (talk) 14:53, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Also, I wrote an idea for Kul Tiras involving naga allying to the Alliance: User:Lon-ami/Kul Tiras. Something like that could serve to explain it, nope? (they help Kul Tiras humans and then they get their trust)--Lon-ami (talk) 14:55, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- That is what I was talking about. They would have to do something great to gain the trust of the Alliance if they were to be a new race for the Alliance. The thing is that there is still the whole issue about legs. Gear, equipment, etc. being shown on the naga. Another interesting thing is that, I think, all the races they have created for WoW have also been playable races in the RPG. If there are going to be two new races, maybe they will take them from the group of playable races in the RPG. Rolandius (talk - contr) 02:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- lol for the record, if you had seen my previous posts, I HATE the fact that the blood elves are in the Horde and desperatly await the day when Blizz makes them back into High Elves and returns them to the alliance, but that ain't gonna happen. Also, my problem is not the lore aspect (we all know how easy it is for Blizz to lolretcon classic lore) my problem is the technical aspect of changing so much just for one race to be playable, would involve alot of programing which they just cbf'd to do. Max Krist (talk) 04:01, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Back at the relative normality of Blakeney Point.....
While I was away I missed a couple of good days, with a big fall of redstarts and thrushes, and some good scarcities, but fortunately not the mega I was dreading, I guess the birding gods smile upon those attending camps on Malta.
The Barred Warbler first found a week ago is still hanging around in the Lifeboat House Garden, or 'The Lupins' as those not in the know insist on calling it.
Barry aside, there's shit all migrant passerines about, just 1 Wheatear and 1 Willow Warbler today, but wildfowl and waders provide something to look at
|Bar-tailed Godwit
|Juvenile Gannets still showing well fishing close inshore
|Meadow Pipit, flippin love the autofocus on the 7D
|Pinkfeet arriving
|Snow Bunting
And finally, one of the weirdest sights of the year. Walking along the beach I saw 2 Common Gulls scrapping over something on the sea, a closer look revealed that it was a Stoat!?! Unfortunately they were quite far out, otherwise this could have made a spectacular photo I feel

The Surfing Walk of Fame and Surfers' Hall of Fame come together to commemorate George Freeth and 100 years at the Huntington Beach pier
Press Release:
June 18th, 2013 – One could argue that the pier made HB "Surf City".
The first one was built at the beginning of the 1900's, a wooden one that was opened to the public in 1904, it was soon replaced by a concrete one that would cost the city a $100,000 and open in 1914.
On that day railway magnate Henry Huntington invited pioneer surfer George Freeth originally from Hawaii's Waikiki and now residing in L.A's South Bay to travel down on the Pacific Railways train to put on a surfing demonstration as part of the festivities, he would be the first surfer at the pier.
That day was June 20th, 1914 and in commemoration of this, the Surfing Walk of Fame and Surfers' Hall of Fame will lay a granite stone and metal plaque in their respective places of recognition on this Thursday June 20th, 2013 to kick off next year's "100 Year's At the Huntington Beach Pier and Surfing in "Surf City".
The Thursday ceremony will be blessed by Father Christian Mondor and attended by HB Mayor Connie Boardman and representatives from both Jack's Surfboards and Huntington Surf & Sport, the patrons of the respective Walk of Fame and Surfers' Hall of Fame will be in attendance.
This Thursday also coincides with International Surfing Day now in it's 9th year where surfers' are encouraged to go surfing all over the world and is a Surfrider Foundation initiative.
In 2014, yearlong celebrations will take place including a major installation in the new look Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum and a special event at the pier on June 20th, 2014 "When Men Were Men and Boards Were Made of Wood", a surfing exhibition where participants will be required to ride boards old and new made of wood.

President Francois Hollande has managed to do what was once thought impossible: make changes to France's cherished and generous retirement system with little resistance from unions. His secret? The changes are so small and put off so far into the future that economists say they aren't worthy of the name "reform."
Labor unions were calling for protests across France on Tuesday. But the demonstrations are not expected to turn into the massive protests that brought cities to a standstill in 2010, when Hollande's predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, raised the retirement age.
Partially that is because Hollande, a Socialist, consulted with union leaders when drawing up the reform. Also, the changes, which the lower house of parliament votes on this week, will fix only a part of what needs changing, analysts say.
"It's the salami strategy," said Elie Cohen, an economist at Sciences Po university. "We have a big problem, we don't know how to fix it, so we cut it into pieces, like a nice sausage."
Hollande's reform would lengthen the number of years people must work to receive a full pension, from 41 years today to 43 years by 2035; the first increases begin in 2020.
Economists say there are three problems with the proposal: It takes effect after most baby boomers will have retired, meaning it doesn't address the cost of paying for their pensions; it still isn't asking people to work long enough, especially since life expectancy is rising; and it ignores the special deals that allow some workers to retire early and account for two-thirds of the retirement system's 20 billion-euro ($27 billion) deficit.
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, and others have raised concerns about how the pensions system will be paid for without further burdening French employers, which already pay the highest payroll taxes in the EU.
The problem with the "salami strategy" is that the reforms are always behind the curve. Jacob Kirkegaard, an economist at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, says the reform might have worked — if it had been done 20 years ago. Now France needs much more. Among the world's most developed countries, only Luxembourg has a lower effective retirement age, according to the OECD, an economic policy group.
The issue of pensions is so sensitive that no one political party wants to make the painful changes that are needed. In other European countries with unsustainable retirement systems, such as Spain and Italy, the financial crisis has threatened to bankrupt the government, pushing politicians to act. France has been spared such turmoil — and lacked the same incentives.
"There is only one party in France and that is the status quo party," said Kirkegaard.
So in another few years, France will likely apply another Band-Aid to its pensiosn system. And so it will go, Kirkegaard said, until the crisis in France gets deep enough that it is forced to make the kinds of changes Madrid and Rome have made.

RISD Museum Unveils Renovated Galleries
PROVIDENCE, RI — On September 24, The RISD Museum will reveal its latest major renovation and reinstallation: the ancient, medieval, and early Renaissance galleries. These spaces, located in the 1926 Radeke Building, have been fully restored to their original architectural grandeur, and the collections on display in them—some of the Museum's most important holdings—have been reinterpreted in fresh and compelling new ways. The galleries have been closed since last year. "These are among the most beautiful and highly articulated architectural spaces in The RISD Museum," says interim director Ann Woolsey, "and we are very pleased to return them to their former glory and to reinstall them with treasures from our permanent collections."
The renovation and reinstallation of the ancient, medieval, and early Renaissance galleries were supported by the generosity of a number of donors, including Board of Governors members Glenn Creamer and Dr. Arnold-Peter Weiss and their wives Mary Jane Creamer and Dr. Yvonne Weiss.
The project was also funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, which in 2006 gave the Museum a $600,000 matching grant for reinstalling and reinterpreting the permanent collection. The ancient, medieval, and early Renaissance gallery renovations are part of this five-year plan. October will bring a reinstallation of the European galleries, building upon the engaging approach already fully realized in the Museum's acclaimed Paula and Leonard Granoff Central and South Galleries, which display 20th-century works of art with furniture, apparel, and design from the same period, presenting a fuller portrait of the time. The next and final phase of the project, a renovation of the 6th floor of the Radeke Building, will begin in 2011 and be completed the following year, resulting in a reinstallation of the Museum's Asian art, Egyptian art, and costume and textiles collections as well as the monumental 12th-century wooden Japanese Buddha. This will include the new Angelo Donghia Costume and Textile Study Gallery, an exhibition and study/storage area that will provide greater access to the Museum's costume and textile objects to students, scholars, and—for the first time—the public.
Ancient Art Galleries
"Many of these objects in our ancient collections are very beautiful, and we tend to think of them as 'art,' but they were first created as functional objects. To tease out the contexts in which they were originally made, we've centered the new ancient art reinstallation around the themes of everyday life, religious customs and beliefs, and funerary traditions," explains Gina Borromeo, The RISD Museum's curator of ancient art. "Another section explores materials and techniques, which we hope will entice viewers—especially RISD students—to take a closer look at individual pieces. The Greek and Roman galleries are some of the most popular galleries in the Museum, and among those most visited by schoolchildren, so to have this opportunity to present the collection in new and engaging ways has been an exciting process." This is the first time the ancient and medieval collections have been completely reinstalled since they were designed by Alexander Dorner in 1939.
Visitors can look forward to seeing works from the permanent collection that have not been on view in many years. These objects include the much-beloved neo-Babylonian lion tile relief, last on view 20 years ago, and a never-before-exhibited marble column with naturalistic carvings of birds on vines which dates to the second century CE, during the reign of the emperor Hadrian. Objects that have recently undergone conservation treatment will be featured, such as a 5th-century BCE Greek red-figured oil flask depicting the goddess Nike in flight, and a number of new acquisitions will be installed. Among these new acquisitions is a two-handled Roman glass jar from the 4th century CE, possibly for holding wine, and several intricately worked Etruscan gold beads, whose exquisite workmanship substantiates the reputation of Etruscan metalworkers as among the finest in antiquity. The sarcophagus loaned in 2009 to The RISD Museum from the Roger Williams Park Museum of Natural History is also featured in the new installation, where its history is reveals the reworking of ancient objects and the nature of collecting.
The Weiss Gallery of Ancient Art will showcase the Museum's Roman marble portraits and sarcophagi, wall paintings from the vicinity of Pompeii, and floor mosaics from the Roman province of Syria. Here the Museum's collection of Etruscan and Italic ceramics and bronzes will also be shown, among these a bronze relief fragment depicting warriors on horseback dating to the 6th century BCE, a recent gift of Drs. Arnold-Peter and Yvonne Weiss.
New case displays in the gallery of ancient Greek art, organized around the themes of Early Greece, Gods and Goddesses, Religion, Funerary Customs, Everyday Life, and the Symposium—bring the pieces to life. The Museum's Greek marble funerary lion, dating to the beginning of the 4th century BCE, not shown for many years, will be back on view there, along with favorites such as the grave relief of a woman (the Radeke Stele) and a large storage vessel (amphora) with twisted handles that depicts the god Apollo holding his lyre
The third gallery, devoted to Materials and Technology, puts on view more Greek and Roman coins from the Museum's collection than ever before. Among these are a spectacular tetradrachm with a head of the god Dionysos from Naxos in Sicily and a decadrachm with a stunning image of the nymph Arethusa from Syracuse, as well as gold staters from Pergamon dating to the time of Alexander the Great, recent donations from Drs. Peter and Yvonne Weiss. A group of marble sculpture and cases devoted to ceramics, metals, and glass elucidates various creative processes and explains the effects of time on different materials.
Medieval and Early Renaissance Galleries
Revealing the history of religious devotion, pilgrimages, monasticism and artistic guilds, the Creamer Medieval and Early Renaissance Galleries feature a number of exceptional works from The RISD Museum's collections. Among the important objects on display are a limestone figure of Saint Peter from the great Abbey Church of Cluny, and a monumental 13th-century Spanish sculpture of the head of a saint. Two highly significant Italian works will be returned to view following thoughtful conservation efforts: the life-size polychromed sculpture of the Annunciate Angel Gabriel and a majestic panel painting of Saint Anthony Abbot by Spinello Aretino, both from 14th-century Tuscany, were among the Museum's earliest acquisitions. The display also includes small devotional objects made for private use, such as a gilt bronze corpus from a crucifix made in the 12th century and an ivory diptych narrating the life of the Virgin Mary. Viewers will also be able to study manuscript illuminations and texts created in European monasteries. Among these is ca. 1510 illumination depicting St. Nicholas, a recent museum purchase.
In the early Renaissance gallery, curator of painting and sculpture Maureen C. O'Brien has assembled a group of northern and southern European paintings and sculpture. "In the early 20th century, the Museum was very astute in its acquisition of Renaissance art. It purchased exquisite panels from the pinnacles and predelle of dismantled altarpieces, including works by Lippo Memmi, Jacopo da Cione, and Matteo di Giovanni. Each of these narrates an aspect of the life of the saint it depicts and provides us with clues about life during the Renaissance." Domestic objects shown nearby expand that narrative, including maiolica vases and a desco da parto, a painted wooden tray that would have been presented to a woman to celebrate the birth of a child. Northern European images include a Portrait of a Cleric by an unknown Bruges master. Wooden sculptures by Tilman Riemenschneider and Benedikt Dreyer, and a marble tabernacle by Domenico Gagini demonstrate a wide range of emotional expressiveness and further an understanding of the materials and techniques used by Renaissance masters.
European Galleries
The European galleries, to be reopened in October, will combine paintings and sculpture with decorative arts, works on paper, and textiles, including an extraordinary example of Italian stamped silk velvet dating from the late 16th century. Objects on view will span the Renaissance to the Neoclassical period, and include a terracotta model of a river god by Giambologna, a painting of the interior of the Palatine Chapel at Aachen by Hendrik van Steenwijk, a French rococo gilded console table, and Joseph Chinard's marble bust of Madame Récamier. The many examples of textiles and works on paper—including books, prints, and drawings—exhibited in the gallery will add significantly to the historical, intellectual, and aesthetic context of works on view. "In concert, this diverse group of objects elucidates the many rich materials used by European artists, as well as the processes of making art in the period, a central theme of the new galleries," explains curator Emily Peters.
Architectural Renovation
Along with conserving and reinstalling the works displayed in them, the gallery spaces have themselves been fully restored and are now fully handicap accessible. Beautiful herringbone oak floors—which for 80 years had been hidden by linoleum—have been refinished, and ornate Regency-style door surrounds with carved wooden volutes have been restored. State-of-the-art security, lighting, and life-safety systems have been installed in the galleries, and a sound system will play period music in the Creamer Medieval Gallery. In the Ancient Art Galleries, the walls have been replastered and painted complementary blue and blue-gray hues, while the walls in the Creamer galleries have been redone in rich bronze-greens. The gallery reinstallations were planned by New York exhibition designer Stephen Saitas, in concert with RISD Museum curators. The renovation was designed by Ed Wojcik Architects and executed by Shawmut Design and Construction. The Radeke Restoration Project has been overseen since its inception in 2006 by Ann Woolsey.
The RISD Museum of Art, a world-class museum in Providence, RI, was founded as part of Rhode Island School of Design in 1877. Its permanent collection of more than 84,000 objects includes paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, costume, furniture, and other works of art from every part of the world, including objects from Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and art of all periods from Asia, Europe, and the Americas, up to the latest in contemporary art. In addition, the Museum offers a wide array of educational and public programs to more than 100,000 visitors annually.

I took my wife's Electra Townie 3S to work today as an experiment. I haven't actually ridden her bike more than just around the parking lot to make sure it's adjusted right and working properly. The rack holds my panniers nicely. The geometry is awkward coming from traditional flat-bar bikes and my road bike, but all in all it's a nice ride. I think her "lightweight aluminum" frame actually weighs more than my steel Diamondback Sorrento, but the long wheelbase frame takes a lot of metal to make.
On with the experiment. No, it wasn't to see how many people would get a chuckle from me riding a "girl's" bike with a step-through frame. It was more to see how the 3-speed gets around my bus-assisted commute routes. It works about as well as I figured it would. In low gear, the Quivira viaduct and the climb from Main to Central on 11th St are do-able. On flat land, 20 MPH or so is attainable. On downhills... well, you can always coast. You won't get much faster than 20 or so with the gear ratios on this bike.
I'm pondering throwing an internal-greared hub on the Sorrento for winter beater duty. My initial reaction was to try fixed gear for winter but I've never had a hub freeze up on me. The Sorrento is going to need at the bare minimum a new rear wheel and cassette, chain, chainrings and front derailleur to be ready for winter. I could forgo the front derailleur and just leave it in the middle chainring, but the chainrings are all worn and I'd be wise to go ahead and replace the whole crank anyways.
I'm sure some would rather have a NuVinci or Rohloff SpeedHub, or even a Nexus 7 or 8 but since this is going to be my winter beater, the Nexus 3 makes the most sense. This bike will be mostly used for getting to and from the bus, riding around downtown and for running errands close to home. It will be exposed to snow, slush, sand, salt, and other crimes against bike parts. When it's nice, I'll probably be on my road bike anyways, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to throw expensive parts onto this bike when they're likely going to be abused and ridden for short-distance rides.
Given the trouble snow has given me in the past, I may go with a relatively small chainring or larger rear cog for an even lower gear ratio than the Townie came with. I don't need the bike to go fast, I just need it to get me there. Heck, I might even like the 3-speed on the novice-level singletrack trails that I like to ride if the gear ratios are low enough for the climbs.
I'm still not ruling out a fixie or singlespeed mountain bike, though...
I might end up taking the Townie out on the Monday Night ride. Heck, I might even try riding this thing all the way back home from downtown. The top-end of my road bike would be missed but I can only think of one hill that will give me any trouble: just south of 75th, either via Switzer or through the industrial park off Wedd Road... it's an unavoidable climb.
More to come. This is a fun bike to ride, but definitely more in its element as a short-distance urban commuter and recreational cruiser bike.
For those of you who have used fixies, single speeds and internal-geared hubs for winter commuting, do you have any suggestions?

I've had super luck with my Nexus 8 on my Trek L200. It does have a full chaincase, but maintenance is pretty much lube it when I remember. Still no chain stretch that I can tell and it's been probably close to 5k miles on it by now.
Works super in sloppy crap and shifting at stoplights is priceless.
Hills are no problem with the gearing here in STL, so I think it'll be doable in KC since the geography is roughly similar (never rode a bike much around KC so my memory might be foggy here).
My advice: Do it!

I have commuting for the past 4 1/2 years and have had a fixie (that sees roughly 2/3rds of my commuting miles) for the past 3 years.
I live outside of Charlottesville, VA and ride roughly 35-40 miles each day I commute (I managed to ride both directions ~85% of the days I worked last year).
I love riding my fixie and can cruise on it pretty darn well week in and week out. On average, I'm cruising at about 17.5mph and usually hit around 30mph on the downhills on the average commute. When I'm feeling frisky, I can crank up the RPMs and get going even faster - 188 rpms and 40.4 mph is my record so far.
The two things I'm glad I did was to find a frame I really liked (fit-wise) and spent a bunch of time finding what gear ratio was going to work for me.
Around here there are lots of rolling hills so there's no way I can manage a flat commute. On each ride I end up with about 1,750 feet worth of ascent and about the same amount of decending. Each direction has me tackling at least two hills - one up & one down - that are at least 3/4 of a mile or more in length.
Finding that sweet spot - not to hard for the climbing and not too easily spun-out for the descents - took a little bit of trial and error. First by riding the entire route in one gear on my geared bike and then dialing it in by swapping cogs/chainrings (I've got a flip-flop hub that I run two different fixed cogs on - one a tooth bigger than the other for the super rare bale-out gear).
Maintenance is pretty easy - keeping the chain clean & lubed and wiping the bike down every so often is about it.
All in all, I love having a fixie in my stable - especially for those foul weather days.

I've been commuting on my wife's Townie Electra for the past year. Three speed hub and weighs a ton. Its only 2.5 miles each way for me so its not that bad. Throw in some hills and distance and it becomes a chore though. The lowest gear isn't quite enough to get you up some of the steeper grades around here like up Main street from Union Station without standing. The highest gear is too high unless you are going downhill. I would've preferred lower gearing overall with less of a ratio change between the gears.
The great part is that it requires zero maintenance and I can wear whatever I want on it plus people look at me funny sometimes.

The funny looks have nothing to do with the Townie, Chuong! :P
By the way, I did ride to the bus in my work clothes, without an ankle strap or fred sock-trick. Chainguards absolutely rule!

Sounds like a fun experiment. Good idea, thinking ahead to winter riding, I need to start thinking that way soon. I have no first-hand experience with internal or fixed gears, so I can't help you there.

I originally set-up my fixed gear for winter commuting. But I couldn't get up some of the hills and maintain traction in slippery conditions with the bigger gear. Switched to a Surly Dingle Cog last year. Two fixed gears to pick from. I liked it, but still not geared low enough for the steeper hills we have here. Finally switched to a Nexus 8-speed and that was the ticket for me. Kept it on all winter. Easy to maintain and clean, jsut like the fixie, but with 8 gears to choose from. In April I switched back to the fixed gear. When the snow starts to fly I'll switch back to the Nexus. However, it all boils down to personal preference. Either set-up makes for a good winter commuter.

Thanks for the ideas so far, guys.
Doug, your setup was partially one reason I'm looking at internal gears. I'm not nearly as hardcore as you from the standpoint of temperature extremes nor car-free-ness. In Winter, things like going to church (8 miles each way) and the hardware store (3 miles each way, on crazy, main arterial roads) usually find me in a car. My bike still gets used for shorter trips to destinations I can get to safely (groceries, pharmacy, post office) so I'm pretty sure a fixie or Nexus 3 will suffice.

I use a 1978 Raleigh Sports, with a Sturmey Archer AW 3 Speed hub for commuting. I prefer the Sturmey to the Nexus, but the Nexus is also a great hub. My commute is 5 miles each way.
Internal hubs are great because there are no, or few, exposed parts. So if and when I throw my bike on the bus I don't have to worry about anything. My opinion is that a three speed set up has all of the advantages of a fixed gear set-up (except, of course, the fixed feel) but also has the benefit of additional gear selections.
A non-dished rear wheel means added strength, no chain movement means less likelihood of derailment, and shifting while stopped means an easier commute. Plus, if you live in a hilly area, climbing or descending is just plain easier.
